Like many of you, I spend far too much time on the dreaded 'Bay, fishing. Late one night a month or so ago, I caught this. Though some might not look twice at it (a simple uni- compax, 35mm, cal. 285), the thick lume caught my eye and the caseback confirmed my military watch sensing instincts.

You've got a good eye, very nice snag!

officers.

 

except that every pilot in the Brazilian Air Force would have been a rupert to begin with.

 

Most of the examples I've seen for the Brazilian military( both F.A.B. and E.B.) have been in gold.
Does Sala have anything on them?
